His Thanks

Capt. C. W. P. Kimm has asked me to convey his thanks and best wishes to all those players who were kind enough to participate in last Sunday's game. It was a grand match, one of the best he has seen during his stay in the Colony.

The standard of hockey has been on the upgrade for the last three seasons, according to Capt. Kimm, and he hopes that it will continue to improve.

Capt. Kimm has always been at the head of things as far as hockey is concerned here, and I am sure all players and enthusiasts will join me this last opportunity of wishing him "Bon Voyage“ in his and the best of luck new sphere of activities.
